Bees declared to be fish in California

[Libby]

I try not to use sprays but I get a lot of spider mites and stink bugs mostly. We have a lot of birds around. Hawks and owls too. I have a big multi-family birdhouse that always has birds in it. The dogs keep the squirrels and rabbits away. This will be the first year I have a successful crop IF I don't kill the plants! I have acorn squash, spaghetti squash, butternut squash, zucchini, grape tomatoes, bell pepper, and jalapeno peppers. Stink bugs will be my downfall because they love all the squash!
